How to coil a pot!
Roll out a base for the pot and cut it out, then roll out sausage shaped pieces of clay and join them on to the base using the method where you score the clay so it will join together when being fired. Once you have scored the clay and you are ready to join the next layer add slip to the scored clay so that it will stick together. Keep doing this until you get to the desired height. Also use a kidney to smooth out the coils so it looks neat.
